THIS morning the new immigration figures have been released showing that net migration has risen to 330,000. This is 10,000 above the highest figure on record, which was 320,000 for the year ending June 2005. It is the fifth consecutive quarterly rise in the index – raising new questions about the Tories’ aim to bring the number below 100,000.
Tim Aker MEP said: "The EU’s open free movement rules mean we cannot stop those coming to Southern Europe, obtaining EU passports and coming to the UK. Islamic State keep threatening to flood our shores and this government has done nothing to secure our borders.
"This government has no clue. It doesn’t know who is in this country or have any plan to regulate who comes into Britain.
"It has surrendered our borders and spits on the sacrifices that have been made to keep this country free and safe.
"We need to leave the EU and get control of our borders like Australia does. The only people offering a fair and sensible solution to this immigration crisis is UKIP."
